Daddy hit the bottle Momma hit the roof They must've hit it off I'm the living proof All their bad habits Got handed down to me You can find me hanging From the family tree Daddy had his demons They moved in for the kill Daddy up and died Left them demons in his will I'm fighting with the devil And he outweighs me Jesus cut me down from the family tree Chorus: Well, now the roots run deep Through my own back yard The fruit goes bad And it don't fall far Nothing good grows from a Bad seed You can find me hanging from the family tree Drank a little courage Got a hunk of rope Got everything I need Everything but hope Carved a prayer in the bark "Heaven please take me" Please don't leave me swinging from the family tree Repeat chorus Please don't leave me swinging from the family tree Jesus cut me down from the family tree
